Har avardhana, other name 1 ditya
A very prominent and brave king in the history of India, Har avardhana by name ruled Kannauja and Sth ne wara in V.N. 12th century. Har avardhana himself was a great scholar, respectable writer of literary masterpieces, admirer of scholars, brave warrior, and expert in warfare strategies and a worshipper of peace.
Achieving his lifelong ambition to defeat and expel the foreign invader H a from his motherland forever proves his deep love for his motherland. He used to respect all religions equally.
The great Bharaka King Prabh karavardhana (other name Prat pa akti) and his queen Ya omat Dev had two sons. The elder son, the great Bharaka King R jyavardhana was a follower of Buddhism while the younger son the great Bharakas King Har davardhana was a follower of aiva religion.
After the death of King Prabh karvardhana, King of M law tried to invade Th ne wara. Hearing this painful news, Riyavardhana with his 10000 mounted-soldiers left for a war with the King of M law and left Har davardhana in Th ne wara to protect the same. Moving with the speed of the wind, R jyavardhan defeated the King of M law .
After his victory over M law , Gaura Kinga mka betrayed and killed R jyavardhana. This was a great pain. Like the fall of lightening on Har davardhana. He took a vow to get rid from this earth Gaura King in a few days; else he will kill himself by burning in fire. Afterwards Har davardhana with a large and strong army departed to conquer and rule all over in four directions after defeating and taking revenge against Gaura Kinga mka first. He attacked Pundu, the capital of a mka. He defeated a mka in this battle.
